Are people in your mom's area taking in refugees, or is that not a practice there?
yes, first it was mostly volunteers trying to figure out living spaces and logistic, with the govt sadly not participating much.
it's getting better though, from what I've heard, local councils start stepping in etc. especially with organising more long term solutions I reckon that is very helpful.
government is not doing much on the country level though, mostly collecting props if anything.
Interesting how much will this affect the refugee discussion in the public sphere, considering the situation on the Belarussian border is just about the same as it was half a year ago . Obviously non-eastern europeans on twitter love to talk about how much of a double standard approach the Poles have to taking in people, but unfortunately it's to blame on the government and their straight out of the ass regulations.
NGOs that were among the first to organise help on the PL-UA border also happen to be very active in the grey zone between Poland and Belarus.
AFAIK as much as everyone is concerned about the war, people are more focused on acting in the present and providing aid and such, which I reckon is a good method to keep oneself sane.
